Totally! Not something I want to screw with.

Yeah they suck. Seems like we've either had Sigs, Convective Sigs, Airmets or a combination of the three for the past week or two around here. I feel your pain!

AIRMETs and SIGMETs are fine. Just avoid the red on the radar.

As much as I hate flying commercial for a trip I could easily do on my own, I definitely don't want to be the subject of a write up like this

In other related news, the pilot had to have the seat cover surgically removed from his posterior...

The last few times I flew through an Airmet for moderate turbulence, there was none. I don't know how seriously to take those.
